Cemetery	Linville Creek Church of the Brethren Cemetery - Page 1
Location	Broadway, Rockingham County, Virginia. From Harrisonburg, Virginia, take Route 42 north (Harpine Highway) to Broadway. Turn right onto Route 1421 (E. Springbrook Road). Go 5/10th mile and go right onto Brethren Road. Go 2/10th mile and cemetery is located by the church.
Notes	Cemetery is maintained but it has numerous stones broken and/or lying on the ground. Section 1 is behind the wall and the first row starts the furthest from the church along side of Route 1421 (E. Springbrook Road). Facing the headstones they are recorded from left to right (south to north). Section 2 is located outside the wall. The 12 Kline stones in Section 1 at the end of Rows 46, 47 & 48 were moved in 1972 from the Paul G. Kline farm 4 miles south of here. In Section 1 at the beginning of Row 20, there is a memorial that reads: "In Gratitude to the Church Fathers who dedicated this parcel of land for the burial of Black People- Marker placed by M. R. Zigler & S. D. Lindsay 1980." And in Section 1 at the beginning of Rows 15 & 16, J. Robert Swank noted there are 5 Negro graves. The caretaker of the cemetery does not have good records of early graves and the church uses J. Robert Swanks recording for it's records.
